Sorry that I forgot about to post it here on the list. The script is
online at

http://git.noone.org/?p=ratpoison.git;a=blob;f=ratpoison-interactive-window-list.pl

Should work with ratmenu as well as ratmen (see the last few lines).
Since ratmenu has now UTF-8 support, too, I'm back on ratmenu.

All other stuff is here: http://git.noone.org/?p=ratpoison.git;a=tree

I use the dmenu as application menu (dmenu-abe.{pl,rc}). The standard
dmenu which offers all commands in the current $PATH is also
implemented in my setup (dmenu-for-ratpoison.sh -- not a good name in
retroperspective), but I more or less never use it.

Includes also my ratpoisonrc, my xmobarrc and my i3statusrc. It's
basically all I need for my netbook desktop.

Sounds nice. Will probably try it and fit it into my environement, too.

Yeah, that's always useful.

Glad to hear that I wasn't the only one who wanted that. :-)

I feel that this made ratmen mostly obsolote. IMHO the UTF-8 patch by
rubikitch was the only real advantage of ratmen over the still
actively maintained ratmenu.

                Kind regards, Axel
